Summary/Abstract: Minority Self-Governments have been operating in Hungary since 1995. In this article the author reviews the work of the assemblies, committees, executives, and administrators of the German, Slovak, and Croatian self-government bodies. The past four years have been trying, given that the communities had little previous experience with self-governance. However, with experience having been gained, the groups are now more likely to move beyond mere minority interest-defense activities and into active community organization and governance.
